In the Trump administration’s latest attack on the press, Elon Musk has called for the jailing of staff at “60 Minutes” after the CBS program aired a segment criticizing his push to freeze USAID funding. A “60 Minutes” report on Sunday included this line: “The world’s richest man cut off aid for the world’s poorest people.” Musk responded on his social media platform by writing, “60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They deserve a long prison sentence.” President Trump already has a pending $20 billion lawsuit against CBS over a different “60 Minutes” segment.
